So, the Money Bike is wrapped up using the original parts on it. I did have to buy brifters as the cobbled up ones were not in line with the build. It's a small frame so it does not fit me but I think I have a buyer who wants it for his daughter.

Pop up your frame numbers too - would be great to get some dates on these frames and see which factories they've come from. I've only got two numbers recorded and I could do with several more.

Later Alpina 550 18.5" on the label but measures more like a 20". 1 1/8" fork, no canti bridge, 3 bottle cages. FN: T0881735. (T is a best guess - looks like a T but with a curved top bar).

Edit. And crud catcher mounting bosses!

Really interesting chain stays. I'd love to see how that one looks all built up.
Could be some time!!

It looked like this when I got it but I would build it rigid.

this is a 1997 or even 98 model, but not sure how to read the serial.

In the years 1994 up to 1996 Formula 969 tube sets have been used.
From 1997 onwards unknown 4130 tubing,
also the naming convention changed, before it was Alpina 50x, now 5x0. and also new logos and a banderole at yours silver have been used.

The max mudroom chain stays with that similar shape have been introduced already 1992, but this to me last series of CroMo Alpina bikes had if I'm not mistaken a bit more oversized tube diameter on the main frame.
